The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team executed a search warrant on May 9, 2026, as part of an Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force operation targeting a registered sex offender. The action was captured in a public “10-94” ride-along video, which shows deputies coordinating with specialized units to apprehend suspects and secure evidence. Sheriff Wayne Ivey appeared in the footage, explaining how the task force uses real-time data to track online predators and connect with local law enforcement for swift responses.
The operation highlights the General Crimes Unit’s role in addressing cybercrimes against children, a priority for the sheriff’s office. The video includes scenes of deputies arriving at a residence in the Cocoa area, where they worked with federal agents to gather digital evidence linked to the suspect. Ivey said the task force has made 12 arrests countywide this year, emphasizing the need for public awareness about online safety.
The “Ride 10-94” series, which the sheriff’s office posts weekly, aims to show the public how deputies handle emergencies, traffic stops, and investigations. This particular episode focused on the SWAT team’s precision during high-risk operations, including the use of drones to monitor the perimeter of the search location. A deputy involved in the operation said the team trained for months to ensure minimal disruption to neighbors during the warrant execution.
The sheriff’s office has not released the name of the suspect or the specific charges in this case, citing ongoing investigations. However, Ivey noted that the task force’s work has led to the recovery of over 500 devices containing illegal content since 2023. The video ends with deputies securing the scene and preparing evidence for transport to the county jail.
